Certifications your flowdowns call for
We're certified to AS9100D & ISO 9001:2015 by IAPMO SCB (Certificate No. 1121211, valid through September 24, 2029) and ITAR registered. When a program flows down AS9100 — typical on aerospace work and common on defense contracts — our certificate meets that certification requirement, and a copy is available on request. Send your PO quality clauses with the RFQ and we'll confirm any program-specific requirements up front. If you also track small-business goals, see how AS9100D + SDVOSB subcontracting works with one supplier. Our aerospace machining requirements guide explains what AS9100 adds. Learn more about our aerospace machining and defense machining capabilities, and our quality & inspection process.
